A Roman Catholic priest who claims he was falsely characterized as "pro-abortion" has filed a $500,000 libel lawsuit against LifeSiteNews.com that could shut down the pro-life news source.

In a message to its readers, Toronto-based LifeSiteNews explained that the damages sought by Fr. Raymond Gravel, a Quebec priest and former member of Canada's Parliament, is the equivalent of a full year's budget and would put the anti-abortion news service out of business.

Gravel admits in his complaint that he is "pro-choice" but argues he is not "pro-abortion."...

"Gravel admits in his complaint that he is "pro-choice" but argues he is not "pro-abortion.""

True, it is playing with words. Reality is this- If you call yourself "pro-choice," you are pro-abortion, i.e. pro-death. Pro-life people do not hold that there is a choice to be made. Pro-choice people want the choice to abort. But "choice" sounds so nice compared to "death," doesn't it?

"Gravel admits in his complaint that he is "pro-choice" but argues he is not "pro-abortion.""

Methinks this heretical Roman Catholic priest plays with words. If he advises one of his congregation that choice is their right, then he is pro-abortion for those who accept the right to choose to abort.
